Here are the default puppy boot options for LUPUP 5.2.0 and all other lupu puppies. (most puppy versions should also use similar boot options but specialised ones may not). its a good idea to have these boot options when you have to configure a bootloader such as Grub, Grub2 or syslinux. grub4dos can automatically detect and configure the boot loader for you even with a frugal install.

What is usually meant is that these are the options that are set by default so will take effect UNLESS the user specifies something else.

The reason I ask the question is that I don't know of any puppy that runs pfix=ram by default. Indeed, by default, they will always load a save file if it exists - sometimes causing pain if it comes from a different version of Puppy!

Obviously pfix=nox is NOT a default.

I think you meant to say that here is a list of boot options that are available to be used with Lupu. If so, then the list is not complete.

If you know of the boot options for wary, slacko, quirky or any other puplet please post them here stating the version of puppy they are from.

edit.
These options can be useful if you want to edit your bootloader like this grub 2 setup for puppy linux click here

Here is a good post about the different installs you can do with puppy.

Those are more commonly known as "cheat codes", which
are used for special cases.
A longer list can be found on earlier cds; such as Puppy4.12._________________
Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.

by default options i mean the default ones given when booting puppy and pressing f2 it shows a list of the options for booting puppy..
the ones there are the most common ones and yes there are probably more you can do than you get in the list.

The following are for debugging, for experts only:
loglevel=<n> Bootup verbosity. 7 is high verbosity for debugging.
pfix=rdsh Execute 'init' then dropout to prompt in initramfs.
pfix=rdsh0 Dropout early, before loading kernel drivers.
pfix=rdsh6 Dropout just before mount layered filesystem.

It's worth mentioning here, that 'acpi=off', 'nosmp' and many other possibilities are not part of the puppy 'cheat codes'. They are kernel parameters and there are many of them. There are also a few possible ones which are paramaters to the 'init' program, although this does not apply to the puppy init.

Since you are trying to explain/rationalize, it would be good to keep the difference between kernel parameters, init parameters and puppy-specific 'cheat codes' in mind. Most puppy users are unaware of the difference, so that don't understand why options which work for other distros do not work here.

Ordinarily I don't have any problem bringing up my keyboard layout because it's the first thing that gets started when Puppy gets to the "setup X" environment. I use the Dvorak layout and have quite forgotten, by way of 'muscle memory" how to touch type on the QWERTY aka The Short Road To Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

So I tried out the new Attack Puppy release. (a security testing suite, very nice) and damned if the "choose keyboard layout" dialogue had disappeared.

Is there any way to cheat-code to load, at the boot prompt, the Dvorak?

Or, simple for me now, what's the name of the app, to start it from the terminal, for that particular segment?

I'm using the Command Line a lot nowadays.

Also, a bash command to simply change the layout?_________________He who skydive without parachute, jumps to own conclusion.

By accidentally right clicking on the desktop thus bringing up a menu, mouseandkeyboard settings, a button near the bottom for Xorg users, layout variants for my Keyboard (us, started with Qwerty The HandBreaker) et voila ici la!

Now to explore the new release.
